A fake news issue used by Øbama's DHS in a totalitarian power grab to nationalize voting. Øbama leaving more damage every day prior to leaving, the America hater that he is.

Obama Uses Russian Hacking To Back A Federal Power Grab

Quote:

Citing increasingly sophisticated cyber bad actors and an election infrastructure that’s “vital to our national interests,” Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson is designating U.S. election systems critical infrastructure, a move that provides more federal help for state and local governments to keep their election systems safe from tampering.

“Given the vital role elections play in this country, it is clear that certain systems and assets of election infrastructure meet the definition of critical infrastructure, in fact and in law,” Johnson said in a statement Friday. He added: “Particularly in these times, this designation is simply the right and obvious thing to do.”

The determination came after months of review and despite opposition from many states worried that the designation would lead to increased federal regulation or oversight on the many decentralized and locally run voting systems across the country. It was announced on the same day a declassified U.S. intelligence report said Russian President Vladimir Putin “ordered” an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. presidential election.

This is simply Rahm Emanuel’s “never let a crisis go to waste” in action. It also demonstrates that the entire Homeland Security “critical infrastructure” program is little more than creeping totalitarianism.

...

In December, a series of cyberattacks directed against Georgia’s elections infrastructure was defeated and the source of the attack was pinpointed as having originated with DHS offices. This is a provocation in the same league as Fast & Furious where the Obama administration broke the law to try to create a fact pattern that would allow greater federal intervention.

This decision needs to be rescinded. While it is entirely appropriate for Johnson to recommend that his successor make this designation, it is wildly and grotesquely inappropriate for him to make the decision, without input from state and local officials, as the U-Haul is being loaded with his crap. This is a cheap and transparent power grab by a failed administration. The elections are over for two years. The Russian hack of the DNC’s server, even though it has nothing to do with elections, has created the crisis mentality, along with his very lame duck status, has created an environment where he can take this action and his use of the US Intelligence Community to claim that the Russians wanted Trump to be president will limit the ability of Trump’s Homeland Security secretary to roll back the action.

This entire program needs to be either rescinded or it needs to be converted into federal law with clear limitations on the ability of the executive branch to dictate standards.

Translation: Obama continues being an effective President, by doing things that hurt our little feelings. Being the small, and petty little white supremecist punks that we are, at Redstate, and all other worthless examples of human waste in conservative America.

It's about time for you juveniles to grow up.

Obama has been a great President, and that fact will stand out in stark contrast to the pile of garbage that's getting ready to inhabit it, by what can only be considered an insult, and an embarrassment, to the office held by Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and Lincoln.

Øbama is a loser. But unsurprisingly skews thinks the power grab to federalize all elections is a good thing. Fellow travelers think alike, comrade skews.

Most voting machines aren't connected to the internet, and Øbama, through Jeh Johnson, have acted irrationally, illegally, and hopefully this too will get tossed, as so many Øbama 'initiatives' have already been tossed by the courts.
